Accepted at: Harvard HBS
Industry Exp: Banking, Energy, Retail
Gender: Male
Background: United States
 
Mentor Details:   I am an entreprenuer who went straight from undergrad, where I majored in engineering, to HBS. I would be best suited for mentees coming from non-traditional backgrounds. I can provide feedback to applicants from these backgrounds trying to explain their reasoning for going to business school. For those of you coming from traditional finance backgrounds, my girlfriend also graduated from HBS with me and now works at a prominent investment bank (hint: the only one of the major players that hasn't gone backgrupt or been bought out yet). She will be helping me provide feedback as well. Most applicants will have stellar academic and/or professional credentials, but good applicants need to have more than just professional ambition. They need to have big (but realistic) dreams and show how they are going to have a major impact in their communities. So in addition to helping with some of the more mundane parts of the application, I can make sure you paint an interesting picture of yourself, your goals, and your dreams.

Start a project with HBS_MBA_08! Mentor:
HBS_MBA_08
Accepted at: Harvard HBS
Industry Exp: Consulting, Entrepreneurship, Government, Retail, Technology, Telecom, Venture Capital
Gender: Female
Background: United States
 
Mentor Details:   I have always had a passion for mentoring as it is one of my greatest strengths. I graduated from HBS in 2008 and have quite a few friends/acquaintances apply to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, Berkeley and Stanford. My strenghts lie in formulating an overall strategy to build a cohesive application and I can definitely offer help on specific essays. I will ensure that my client's essays clearly and accurately integrate and portray their intent, objectives, and personality to make a compelling case for admission. Career wise, I owned two businesses and worked at two top consulting firms prior to attending HBS. Feel free to choose me if you would like targeted, constructive feedback. Thanks for your time and best of luck!
